During the EII implementation, it needed a big attribute refactor in rustc. And the community stepped up and helped Jana and Mara on this project. Many were first time Compiler contributors, and some even became team members.
Which is a big reason Jana resents LLM PRs on the Rust project: it robs the opportunity for community-building, and learning in general, she says.

After discussion with Miguel Ojeda from Rust for Linux, support for EII outside of cargo was also needed. But it turns out there is already a linker feature that can be used for that: weak symbols. It allows exactly what Rust does: having a default implementation (that is weak, and has less priority) that is a fallback in case no other implementation is found. #RustInParis #RustForLinux
